Hi all,

I'm hoping someone can help me. I am designing a form for my company which takes user information in a form and adds it to a excel file (.xls) the problem I am getting is when I come to open the xls file excel doesn't seem to bring in the correct characters that the Swedish use (åöä). As fas as I know its going ok from the form but doesn't work when it gets to excel, anyone got any ideas how I can fix this or get around it?

Matt.

Seems like its a mac only issue as I have tested it using Crossover for Mac installing Excel 2003 and it displays correctly.
